Location & How It Works
3
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of
water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or
out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out
of the area. lt may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for
satisfactory drying.
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors,
windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier
depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.

IMPORTANT:
How It Works
The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louvers into the
room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils.
The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off
and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F (35 °C). The unit will not work
properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will
fall greatly.
Normal Sounds
The sound of dripping water may be
heard during the dehumidification cycle.
Dripping Sound
Sound of Rushing Air
At the top of the unit, you may
hear the sound of rushing air
being moved by the fan.
Gurgle/Hiss
“Gurgling or hissing” noise may be heard
due to refrigerant passing through
evaporator during normal operation.
Today’s high efficiency compressors
may have a high pitched chatter
during the dehumidification cycle.
